OAK LAWN, IL — Dottie Zietara, owner of Deja Brew Bar & Grille in Oak Lawn, and the rest of her crew, raised $15,106 for Chicago Police Officer Danny Golden, who was left partially paralyzed after he was shot while trying to break up a fight off-duty in front of a Beverly bar.
The business ran a week-long special “Back the Blue” burger for the young officer. All sales from the special burger were donated to Golden and his family to help with his expenses and future modifications to his home.
“We are proud to announce that we sold a total of 845 burgers,” Zietara said on Facebook. Between burgers sold and cash donations we raised a total of $15,106, which will be donated to Danny Golden for his journey to recovery.
